The Plan

Each student registered for a grade is to type up lecture notes for two or so lectures, and also correct mistakes, and ask/answer questions on this Wiki.

Lectures

If anyone is willing to donate their handwritten notes (on loose sheets of paper), I'd be happy to scan them in as a supplement my sloppy notes.

To stake a claim to a lecture, simply write up a draft of that lecture. (All changes will be attributed to your Wiki account.) No permission is required, but the more advanced students should leave the earlier/simpler lectures for the less advanced students.

Editing the Wiki

This Wiki is editable by anyone. Just create an account, sign in, and an "edit" tab will appear at the top.

I use a hacked version of the Wikipedia LaTeX rendering engine. Most LaTeX "math mode" commands are supported, meaning anything you would enclose in $'s. You can make commutative diagrams via \xymatrix. What doesn't work are non-"math mode" commands like \begin{eqnarray*}. For example pages illustrating most features, see 10-06 Notes or 10-15 Notes.

Tips:

  • If you don't already know LaTeX, try LyX. (Version 1.6.0 works well.) It will help you typeset your formulas, help you learn LaTeX, and export your work as a LaTeX document. With some minor modifications, you'll be able to paste that LaTeX into this Wiki.
  • Be sure to save your work often! The "Save page" button is your friend. Otherwise, something might navigate you away from the Wiki, causing you to lose your work.
  • Edit aggressively. All changes are reversible, so it's impossible to "screw things up."
  • Hit the "Show preview" button to see what you're doing.

If you have trouble, feel free to let me know. If you need to use a package, a macro, or some command which isn't supported, I can easily hardcode it for you.
